A tall, tightly set display face built from dense vertical strokes that are repeatedly interrupted by horizontal breaks, creating a striped, segmented silhouette across most glyphs. The letterforms lean on simplified, geometric construction with squared terminals and occasional rounded bowls, producing a rigid, mechanical rhythm. The internal banding is consistent enough to feel systematic rather than random, yet the interruptions vary per glyph, giving the set an irregular, experimental texture. Counters are compact and the overall texture reads as a dark columnar pattern with intermittent scanline gaps.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture is a feature: posters, punchy headlines, logo lockups, and entertainment or music-related graphics. It also fits techy or industrial branding accents, title cards, and stylized packaging where a distorted or segmented look is desired.
The repeated breaks and compressed proportions suggest a glitch/scanline aesthetic with an industrial, slightly dystopian edge. At the same time, the quirky segmentation and occasional unexpected cuts give it a playful, wacky attitude that feels intentionally disruptive and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to merge a condensed display skeleton with deliberate horizontal fragmentation, evoking scanlines, stenciling, or cut-strip construction. Its goal is to turn simple letterforms into a patterned graphic element that reads both as type and as visual texture.
In text, the horizontal interruptions create strong horizontal noise that can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, while the condensed vertical emphasis keeps words compact and poster-like. The figure set follows the same banded logic, helping numerals blend seamlessly into headlines and graphic layouts.
